Eva Marie Saint, the cheerleader who did live Keds sneakers commercials on this program, also talks about her performance on this early TV show along with photos in 1947 and 1949 issues of Life magazine. The show was sponsored by U.S. Rubber (makers of Keds). Billboard reviews from 1946-47 pan the show as an example of TV mediocrity, but it had a loyal following on early TV.
